Hardiness zone guide

11

USDA Hardiness Zone 11

4.4 to 10 °C· 40 to 50 °F· Average annual minimum

Warm subtropical

Zone 11 never sees frost (lows of 4 to 10 °C), so tropical and subtropical crops — bananas, papaya, guava, ginger — grow alongside heat-tolerant vegetables. Gardening shifts to managing heat, humidity and the wet and dry seasons.
